Steve Burton Interviews

DID YOU KNOW?

Steve made his daytime drama debut on Days of Our Lives.

Steve attended the real-life Beverly Hills High School, the one fictionalized on the FOX series 90210.

Versatile actor Steve Burton brings an innocent vulnerability to the fiercely intense Jason Morgan, the youngest son of Dr. Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon), on General Hospital. Although born to the Quartermaine family, a near-fatal accident caused Jason to lose his memory. Thus was born Jason Morgan, who would become the leader of organized crime in Port Charles. "The transition from Jason Quartermaine to Jason Morgan has been an incredible experience as an actor, and for that I am grateful," reflects Steve. Steve received his first Emmy in May, 1998, for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He also received an award for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the nationally televised Soap Opera Awards in February, 1998.

Steve Burton's background is quite unlike that of Jason Quartermaine. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Mr. Burton was raised in the Midwest and attended several different high schools in the nation's heartland before moving with his father to California. Before graduating from Beverly Hills High school, "a world apart from the environment I was accustomed to," he emphasizes, Mr. Burton studied drama and was a member of the school's acclaimed Theatre 40.

A very successful career in commercials led to a three-year run on the popular syndicated comedy series, Out of This World, playing the role of Chris Fuller. Mr. Burton made his daytime drama debut in the recurring role of Harris Michaels on Days of Our Lives.

A gifted and enthusiastic athlete, Mr. Burton enjoys and excels at virtually every sport, but prefers surfing above them all. Mr. Burton is newly married and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Sheree. -from ABC Daytime
